If you are one of the unlucky ones facing this issue, I am here to help you with a few quick solutions to fix Audio Mix settings not working on iPhone 16.

How Do I Fix Audio Mix Settings Not Working on iPhone 16

1. Enable Spatial Audio

To make use of the Audio Mix settings, the video you record should be recorded with Spatial Audio. When you record video on your iPhone 16, Spatial Audio is automatically enabled to give you a more immersive, lifelike sound. But even so, you should double-check to see if you haven’t turned it off, intentionally or unintentionally. Here’s how you can do it:

Time needed: 1 minute

  1. Go to Settings.

  2. Tap Camera > Record Sound.

  3. Tap Spatial Audio.

2. Restart Your iPhone

Whenever you run into a software glitch on your iPhone, the first thing you should try is restarting it. Restarting refreshes iOS and all system processes, which often fixes minor issues, like no sound in videos or Audio Mix settings not working on iPhone 16. If you’re not sure how to restart your iPhone, just follow the steps below:

  1. Press and hold the Power and Volume Down/Up buttons simultaneously for a few seconds until the power off screen appears.

3. Turn off Bluetooth

If your iPhone 16 does not have sound when you tweak the Audio Mix settings, try turning off Bluetooth. This issue can occur if the phone is connected to an external audio device, like AirPods or a Bluetooth speaker. When connected, the iPhone’s built-in speakers may stop working. Disabling Bluetooth can often fix this problem.

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap Bluetooth, and turn the Bluetooth toggle off.

4. Reset Your iPhone

A factory reset could be your best option if none of these solutions work on your iPhone. Before you begin, back up all your data. This step is essential because the reset will erase everything from your device. Once your data is safe, you’re ready to start the reset process.

  1. Go to Settings > General.
    go-to-settings-General
  2. Tap Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings.
